back in 1986 i worked for washprig- (Washington public information group) for 5 days. i learned all about Hanford and it's nuclear waste dump.- the main concern was and is-that it is located near the Colorado river and the contamination WILL go downstream. the tanks were cracking 25 years ago.

The leaking materials at Hanford Nuclear Reservation pose no immediate risk to public safety or the environment because it would take perhaps years for the chemicals to reach groundwater, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday.

Hmmm... I think I heard this somewhere before... somewhere in Japan maybe.

Well, I live here. Right here. The reactor is not in Yakima, it is in the Tri Cities of Kennewick, Richland and Pasco. Tri Cities also inculdes smaller cities like HANFORD, which is exactly where the reactor is. It is the only US Reactor to produce Weapons Grade Platonium, in fact, they used the Platonium from this plant for one of the bombs over Japan. It has always been "leaking", and the way they cool the reactor is the mighty Columbia River. The Columbia is HUGE, Biggest river west of the Mississippi. It becomes the boarder between Washington and Oregon until it dumps in to the Pacific ocean. I lived only 50 miles or so from it for almost my entire life. I moved a bit, so I am about 120 miles from it. But it has been proven to be toxic ground, and a major river problem. I am sure it is giving us all cancer a bit at a time.
